THE San Francisco Giants Blog. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. I’m not sure how you flip a coin in the air and it doesn’t flip. How does that happen?
Maybe if you spin it like a frisbee? Seems to me it would still flip over when it hit the ground. But maybe that’s one of the rules, it has to flip in the air. Either way, the *coin toss* has proven in recent years to be too difficult of a task for field umpires to execute. Maybe they need to go to a *guess what number I’m thinking? . which is the best 35 game start in NBA. Tiki Barber joins Doug Gottlieb to discuss Tom Coughlin's time with the Giants.

University of San Francisco/Giants. Closest guess gets to pick.” That couldn’t be much worse than the freaking coin failing to flip. Anyway, the laws of physics took a hit yesterday…. That was a pretty epic game. Bummed I have to miss the 2 today but I’ll be re- freshing my phone like a boss at this all- day volleyball tourney I have to go to……. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. Four very interesting games this weekend. I posted my predictions on Chuck’s blog, encourage you to do the same. I want to see the Chiefs win, just don’t know if they can pull it off without Maclin and with Kelce likely to be shut down by Chung. But you never know, maybe Smith takes the team on his shoulders and runs them to victory! Hey, he’s done it before…. Who you guys like this weekend? Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. I’ve softened my stance on the Chip Kelly hire mostly because I have no choice. And, the pickins were slim. If the choice was between him and the 2 AARP members I guess I’ll go with Kelly. And who knows, maybe he learned something from getting his ass fired in Philly. And come on, it’s Philly, aren’t most things dysfunctional in that sports town? Maybe Kelly just needed a fresh start. I read somewhere that the #1 conflict resolution strategy for BOTH Kelly and Baalke is to stage a coup. I thought that was sad and also funny. It will be an interesting season, that is for sure……. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. So I think we can all agree that the Powerball smokes copious amounts of Powerpole. And, it’s January 1. It’s 4: 5. 5pm in Reykjavik right now. That is all. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. That tweet I posted early this morning still has me chuckling. What are they going to do with that guy next year? Rain. Lots of rain. Feel like Andy Dufresne after crawling through that shit line, only less happy. Zumiee, you guys have to be getting hammered out there. How do the crops look? Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. Someone told me the Giants were the favorites to win the World Series next year. That appears to be untrue. They’re 1. 0- 1. Cubs and Red Sox are 7- 1 and 8- 1, respectively. Future bets are, inherently, pretty dumb. What team looks the same in the post season as it did in Spring Training? I wonder when the last team favorite to win the WS in ST actually went and won it? Yankees in 2. 00. How could you not like our chances? Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1. Man, Jeremy Hill…. People are going to say that somehow he’s not the goat of that game. That it was the absurd Burfict or Jones, who could be found weeping alone on the bench at the end of the game. And while those 2 idiots definitely played a role in that incomprehensible loss, Hill is the one who is going to have to wear that one forever. I know this because I still haven’t forgiven Roger Craig for his fumble. Remember that one? Losing to the Giants with 2 minutes to play. All they needed was another 1. Ball handed off to Craig. He runs into the line. Ball pops out. Fucking Lawrence Taylor recovers it. Game over.*********Resident Niner expert Chuck corrected me in the comment section that the Niners were winning when he fumbled and the Giants kicked a FG to win it. I don’t remember that at all. Just the fumble and the loss. I did leave my apartment in Portland, Oregon after the fumble and went for a drive. Don’t remember where I drove to. Probably for beer******And I was a privileged 4. Sb ‘s already in the bank. How must a Bengal fan be coping with last night’s unfathomable defeat? That was and will always be the worst loss I’ve ever felt as a fan. It still makes me sick to my stomach. What was your worst loss ever?_______________________. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 9, 2. I swear to God, I woke up this morning and wondered how cold it was at Carstie’s cabin. Did he fire up the stove yet to warm up that pussy? Hey now. FOUR games THIS WEEKEND. I wouldn’t bet on any of them. Especially the Minnesota game. What does below zero temperature do to a football? I’m guessing it’s not easy to throw. They’re saying that this game could break the record set by Twin’s dad in the Ice Bowl game. I hope it doesn’t. I like that record. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 8, 2. Here’s what I like most about the Span signing: this is the first off season I can remember where management didn’t just build the barest bones roster they could possibly build. In the past, we would be counting on Blanco, Pagan and Pence and that would be it. Kelby Tomlinson would probably be groomed as a 4th outfielder. And then when Pagan goes down in May we would be scrambling as usual. But the Span signing means that’s not going to happen. One thing I would like to see happen: stop tip toeing around Angel Pagan. It seems like the Giants are afraid of this guy or something. Sit his ass down and tell him he’s no longer playing CF. He can split time in LF with Blanco. Sharing the job would be best for both of them. Now Specs can focus on his utility role in the infield and Parker and Williamson can jostle around for the 5th OF spot. I almost don’t know what to do with all these extra players, lol! Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 7, 2. If you change your HOF vote, doesn’t that make you kinda vindictive? Or uninformed? Or worse, a pussy? I really don’t care, I stopped worrying about who was/wasn’t getting into the HOF a long time ago. Plus, I’ve never been there so it’s an *out of sight/out of mind” thing. If you have a vote and you do the research then you should either know or not know on a guy the first time you vote/don’t vote for him. There is no new information coming out. They haven’t put up a stat in AT LEAST 5 years. And now I’m reading about some softening from the voters regarding the steroid guys. Although, I’m not so sure about that since their % only seems to have gone up because of the sweep the BBWAA did to get rid of the guys who haven’t been voting. Still, there are writers saying they’ve changed their minds. And while changing your mind is a right and as human as it gets, I don’t see what’s changed other than the calendar. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 6, 2. Royals got Gordon back for 4 years/7. I actually would have been fine giving him the same deal. Now that he’s fallen the rest should start to go. What are the chances we get one of the following? Big Cespy. Fowler. Parra. J- Upton. Denard Span. Marlon Byrd. I think we are probably more in a “Will Venable” state of mind but who knows, maybe management surprises me……. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 5, 2. Anyone want Dexter Fowler? At the right price, I do. He’s a switch hitter who might hit 7 billion triples if allowed to play at AT& T full time. Or at least, 8. 1 games. He’s long (6’4). I haven’t checked his defensive metrics mostly because I think they’re overrated but he’s gotta be better at D than Pagan. I mean, who isn’t? He’s 2. 9, I actually see him as a younger Pagan. I’d take him. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 4, 2. I want you to imagine something with me. What if the Giants had a mediocre year and the owner fired the manager. Except he didn’t fire him, he told everyone that “there was a mutual parting of the ways.” Baer replaces Bochy with Darrell Evans. He tells everyone not to worry about Howdy Doody not having managerial experience because Steve Kerr didn’t have any and he won an NBA championship in his first year. EVERYONE is skeptical of this move—the fans, the media, the internet. EVERYONE. Baer tells us all to R- E- L- A- X because his standard is World Series or bust and that the history of the Giants franchise says to trust in the process. The following year, the team is awful. Close to the worst team in the league. An hour after the final game of the season, because he’s too much of a pussy to *be accountable* in person, the owner sends out a press release saying that Howdy Doody has been fired. Neither Jed nor Baalke were at the game yesterday, by the way……Bochy, watching all of this from an ivory tower somewhere, sends out this cryptic tweet. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 2, 2. Whenever I go to mlbtraderumors. Free Agent A vs Free Agent B Face Off, I know there is nothing going on in baseball. And why would there be? It’s cold. Dark. Haiku. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 1, 2. Five decent games today. How about a prediction for each. Tenn - 1. 0 vs N- Western. I’m taking NW and the points here since I watched them beat the Cardinal in the first game of the season and they looked great. That was a long time ago and NW is pretty much one- trickish with their running game, but 1. Michigan - 4 vs Florida. I’m taking Florida. I’ve seen Jim Harbaugh win too many games by a field goal. Gimmie the 4. ND +6 vs Ohio State. I hate both these teams. I’m predicting that on the kickoff each player crashes into each other like coconuts falling from a tree, everyone is injured and they have to cancel the game. AND both programs are disbanded forever. Hey, I can dream. Cardinal - 6 vs Iowa. I’m taking the Cardinal here and as stupid as it is to lay 6 points with another coach who loves to win by a field goal, I am doing it. Although there is no outcome that would really surprise me. I wanna see Shaw do something dynamic with Love and Rector or even underutilized Barry Sanders and make this game interesting. Please don’t run the ball 5. Mississippi - 9. 5 vs Oklahoma State. Kelly accounts for 5 td’s and Ole Miss rolls….. Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on December 3.

Order Up! by Zoo Games Nintendo Wii $19. Buy 'Order Up!” from Amazon Warehouse Deals and. Meet the needs of certain customers by putting in spices they like. There is also an impressive amount of voice acting in the game, giving your patrons and fellow restaurant staff a lot of personality. Players begin by choosing a male or female chef and then work their way up the food chain of dining establishments on the island. We all start at the bottom, and on Port Abello that means the greasy spoon Burger Face. But soon you'll buy your own place and, after you've impressed the local food critic, you'll be able to expand to bigger operations. Gameplay is separated into days where you take orders, prepare dishes, and then count your money. Each level of restaurant has certain goals that need to be met (grow your menu, earn a certain amount of money) before you can proceed to the next eatery. The clock is ticking as soon as a customer places an order. You'll use motion controls to prepare each ingredient of a menu item. In Order Up!, the gestures aren't unnecessary waggles that would be better input with a button press. They actually make sense. You use the remote like a knife to chop vegetables. Turn it on its side to flip a burger. Shake it up and down to grate cheese. You have the option of using the nunchuk for navigation, but the entire game can be played comfortably with just the remote in one hand. After your diner, the Gravy Chug, you'll open a Mexican joint called El Fuego. Even though there are numerous motion controls for food prep, Order Up! You can prepare ingredients in any order you like, and some take longer to address than others. There are multiple areas of your kitchen (grill, fryer, oven, cutting board) so you'll need to multitask. You can also hire line chefs to help with the preparation. Outside of these general game mechanics, there are nice extras like a farmers' market where you can buy black market recipes and shop for spices. Many customers will have particular tastes, and if you season their dish accordingly you'll earn a bigger tip. There are a couple of unnecessary mini- games that pop up, reminding us of what most casual Wii offerings are like. From time to time your restaurant will become infested with rats and you have to point the remote to flick them away. When the health inspector shows up he'll want you to wash dishes in front of him so, again, you point and swirl a dish rag around the plate. But these are brief instances that don't interfere with the core gameplay too much. It is disappointing that a multiplayer mode wasn't involved. A one- on- one battle to see who could get orders out fast enough would have been fun. Order Up! is a well- made casual game, and it will appeal most to younger gamers and the mainstream crowd. While I like the game mechanics, it is kind of a one trick pony that involves a lot of repetition. It satisfies in short play sessions but doesn't have the legs to hold core gamers' interest for long. The Verdict. If only all casual games were of this quality. The developers took the time to create some nice visuals, a unique art style, and motion controls that actually fit the experience. But here's the real evidence: my fellow IGN editors frequently stop by my desk to see what crappy Wii game I'm playing. After watching me play Order Up! Wow, I kind of want to play this!". Order Up!

It's not THAT much smaller than your run- of- the- mill- 4 cylinder. Plus, it sounds like it needs a lot of fuel additives to run efficiently. And 3 cylinders running smoothly at low RPMs? Forget it.

Nintendo. It is the successor to the Game Boy Color. It was released in Japan on March 2. North America on June 1. Australia and Europe on June 2. People's Republic of China on June 8, 2. Hong Kong). Nintendo's competitors in the handheld market were the Neo Geo Pocket Color, Wonder. Swan, GP3. 2, Tapwave Zodiac, and the N- Gage. Despite the competitors' best efforts, Nintendo maintained a majority market share with the Game Boy Advance. As of June 3. 0, 2. Game Boy Advance series has sold 8. Its successor, the Nintendo DS, was released in November 2. History[edit]Contrary to the previous Game Boy models, which were all following the "portrait" form factor of the original Game Boy (designed by Gunpei Yokoi), the Game Boy Advance was designed in a "landscape" form factor, putting the buttons to the sides of the device instead of below the screen. The Game Boy Advance was designed by the French designer Gw. Г©na. Г«l Nicolas and his Tokyo- based design studio Curiosity Inc.[7][8]Project Atlantis[edit]In 1. Electronic Gaming Monthly,[9] issues 5. Total![citation needed] and the July 1. Game Informer[citation needed] featured reports of a new Game Boy, codenamed Project Atlantis. Although the expected release date of "early 1. Game Boy Color, it was described as having a 3. RISC processor, a 3- by- 2- inch color LCD screen, and a link port[9]—a description that more closely matches the Game Boy Advance. It also may have referred to the unnamed, unreleased Game Boy Color successor prototype that was revealed at 2. Game Developers Conference.[1. It was announced that Nintendo of Japan was working on a game for the system called "Mario's Castle".[9]Technical specifications[edit]The technical specifications[1. Game Boy Advance are, as provided by Nintendo: [1. Length: approximately 1. Width: approximately 2. Height: approximately 8. Mass: approximately 1. Screen: 2. 9 inches reflective thin- film transistor (TFT) color LCD. Power: 2 AA batteries. Battery life: approximately 1. Game Boy Advance games (also dependent on the Game Pak being played, volume setting and any external peripherals being used - e. CPU: 1. 6. 8 MHz 3. ARM7. TDMI with embedded memory. MHz 8- bit Z8. 0 coprocessor for Game Boy backward compatibility. Memory: 3. 2 kilobyte + 9. VRAM (internal to the CPU), 2. DRAM (outside the CPU). Resolution: 2. 40 Г— 1. Color support: 1. BGR (5 bits depth per channel), capable of displaying 5. Sound: Dual 8- bit DAC for stereo sound (called Direct Sound), plus all legacy channels from Game Boy. The new DACs can be used to play back streams of wave data, or can be used to output multiple wave samples processed/mixed in software by the CPU. Backward compatibility for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games is provided by an 4/8 MHz Z8. Game Boy Advance software can use the audio tone generators to supplement the primary sound system), while a link port at the top of the unit allows it to be connected to other devices via use of a Nintendo Game Link cable or Game. Cube link cable. When playing Game Boy or Game Boy Color games on the Game Boy Advance, the L and R buttons can be used to toggle between a stretched widescreen format (2. Г—1. 44) and the original screen ratio of the Game Boy (1. Г—1. 44). Game Boy games can be played using the same selectable color palettes as on the Game Boy Color. Every Nintendo handheld system following the release of the Game Boy Advance SP has included a built- in light and rechargeable battery. The Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS 2. D graphics hardware have scaling and rotation for traditional tiled backgrounds in its modes 1 and 2 and scaling and rotation for bitmaps in modes 3 through 5 (used less often on the GBA because of technical limitations).[1. On each machine supporting this effect, it is possible to change the scaling and rotation values during the horizontal blanking period of each scanline[clarification needed] to draw a flat plane in a perspective projection. More complex effects such as fuzz are possible by using other equations for the position, scaling, and rotation of each line. With hardware comparable to the Super NES, the Game Boy Advance represents progress for sprite- based technology. The Game Boy Advance has platformers, SNES- style role- playing video games, and classic games ported from various 8- bit and 1. This includes the Super Mario Advance series, as well as the system's backward compatibility with all earlier Game Boy titles. Final Fantasy VI Advance was the final licensed Japanese GBA game release. Released November 2. Nintendo- published game for the system.[1. The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night was the final European GBA game, released November 2. Samurai Deeper Kyo was the final North American GBA game, released in February 2. Accessories[edit]Official[edit]. The Wireless Adapter was packed in with Pok. Г©mon Fire. Red and Leaf. Green. Nintendo released many addons for the Game Boy Advance. These include: Wireless Adapter: Released in 2. Game Boy Advance. It replaces link cables and allows many people to link together. It markets for US$2. Pok. Г©mon Fire. Red and Leaf. Green. Because it was released so late in the Game Boy Advance's life, fewer than 2. The adapter's usefulness is most evident in Pok. Г©mon, as Fire. Red/Leaf. Green and Emerald feature a "Union Room" where up to forty people can enter to battle or trade Pok. Г©mon. A Game Boy Micro version has also been released; it can interact fully with both models of the Wireless Adapter. Game Boy Advance Infra- Red Adapter: This adapter was included with the game Cyberdrive Zoids, as it is only compatible with this game and the latest GBA Pok. Г©mon games. The adapter was not sold separately. This is also currently the only Game Boy Advance accessory that has not been remade for the Game Boy Micro. Nintendo Game. Cube – Game Boy Advance link cable: The link cable is used to connect the Game Boy Advance to the Game. Cube gaming console. It is intended for interoperability between games for the Game Boy and corresponding games for the Game. Cube. There were not many games that supported the hardware; notable titles are Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, allowing up to 4 players to use their Advance or SP handheld as a controller that has additional information on the screen, as well as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, allowing additional content to be unlocked through one of the characters in the game. Also, the device works for Pok. Г©mon Colosseum and Pok. Г©mon XD which lets you trade Pok. Г©mon back and forth to its GBA iterations (Pok. Г©mon Fire. Red, Leaf. Green, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald). In addition, it can be used to transfer Chao between Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2. Finally, it can be used to unlock the "Fusion" skin for Samus (that was introduced in Metroid Fusion) for use in Metroid Prime, provided that the player has also met certain conditions in both Fusion and Prime. Play- Yan: The Play- Yan is an MP3/MPEG4 player for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The cartridge is slightly broader than a normal Game Boy Advance cartridge and includes a built- in headphone port as well as an SD Card slot. Music or videos that users have downloaded from the Internet can be transferred onto an SD Card and slotted into the Play- Yan device. Nintendo has released several mini games for the Play- Yan that can be downloaded from their website, although Nintendo later removed all minigame functionality through a firmware update. The Play- Yan was initially available in Japan only, but was released in Europe as the Nintendo MP3 Player on December 8, 2. MPEG4 functionality removed. The Play- Yan was never released in North America. Reader: The e- Reader is a scanning device that plugs into the game cartridge slot of the Game Boy Advance. Specialized cards with codes along the side and bottom are slid through the slot, scanning the card into the Game Boy Advance. Many ideas for the e- Reader include cards that scan classic games like Donkey Kong and Excitebike onto the handheld ready to play, as well as a collaboration with Super Mario Advance 4 and Pok. Г©mon Ruby and Sapphire to have cards that unlock content. Nintendo Game. Cube games like Animal Crossing have cards with unlockable content as well, and the Pok. Г©mon Trading Card Game playing cards also adopt the e- Reader codes. The e- Reader works with the Game Boy Player and Game Boy Advance SP, but cannot fit into the Nintendo DS's Game Boy slot (however it can fit into the Nintendo DS Lite's Game Boy slot). Nintendo continues to manufacture the accessory and sell it at its Online Store. It is still quite popular in Japan. It was not released in Europe. Game Boy Advance Video: These cartridges contain two episodes of thirty- minute cartoon programs. First released in North America in May 2. Dragon Ball GT, Pok. Г©mon, Sponge. Bob Square. Pants, Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Yu- Gi- Oh! The movies Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shark Tale are also available for Game Boy Advance Video and all three movies are full. USB Biofeedback Game Controller. Building upon our last tutorial, which taught you how to build a muscle sensor, we've decided to give you a project that really showcases the power of our muscle (EMG) sensors. Advancer Technologies’ “USB Biofeedback Game Controller” harnesses the power of electromyography to allow players to directly control video games with their muscles. At the core of this plug- in- play controller is the powerful yet low- cost Arduino UNO microcontroller, a favorite among hobbyist and students, acting as a HID keyboard interface. Integrated with the Arduino UNO are four of our Muscle (EMG) Sensors, allowing four muscles to act independently or in combination with each other to control over four buttons. In our setup, we elected to use a six button setup with the left forearm controlling the B button (RUN/ATTACK), the right forearm controlling the A button (JUMP), the left bicep controlling the LEFT button, the right bicep controlling the RIGHT button, and combinations for UP and DOWN. This tutorial will teach you to build a USB Biofeedback Game Controller. Use it to play any computer game (that uses keyboard inputs) using your muscles as the controller.

D degree at the University of Cambridge on Human- Computer interraction. Douglas created the first graphical computer game - a version of Tic- Tac- Toe. The game was programmed on a EDSAC vaccuum- tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube display. William Higinbotham created the first video game ever in 1. His game, called "Tennis for Two," was created and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope. In 1. 96. 2, Steve Russell invented Space. War! Spacewar! was the first game intended for computer use. Russell used a MIT PDP- 1 mainframe computer to design his game. In 1. 96. 7, Ralph Baer wrote the first video game played on a television set, a game called Chase. Ralph Baer was then part of Sanders Associates, a military electronics firm. Ralph Baer first conceived of his idea in 1. Loral, a television company. In 1. 97. 1, Nolan Bushnell together with Ted Dabney, created the first arcade game. It was called Computer Space, based on Steve Russell's earlier game of Spacewar! The arcade game Pong was created by Nolan Bushnell (with help from Al Alcorn) a year later in 1. Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney started Atari Computers that same year. In 1. 97. 5, Atari re- released Pong as a home video game. Larry Kerecman was one of the first first operators of video arcade games, including Computer Space. He writes that, "The brilliance of these machines was that Nolan Bushnell and company took what was computer programming (in Space War) and translated it into a simpler version of the game (no gravity) using hard- wired logic circuits. The printed circuit boards that comprise electronics of these games use integrated circuits called small- scale integrated circuits. They consist of discrete logic chips and gates or gates, 4- line to 1. Texas Instruments catalog. The shape of the rocket ship and flying saucer even are visible in a pattern of diodes on the PC board."In 1. Odyssey was released by Magnavox and designed by Ralph Baer. The game machine was originally designed while Ralph Baer was still at Sanders Associates in 1. Baer managed to gain his legal rights to the machine after Sanders Associates rejected it. The Odyssey came programmed with twelve games. In 1. 97. 6, Fairchild released the first programmable home game console called the Fairchild Video Entertainment System, and later renamed Channel F. Channel F was one of the first electronic systems to use the newly invented microchip invented by Robert Noyce for the Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation that allowed video games to not be limited by the number of TTL switches. On June 1. 7, 1. 98. Atari's "Asteroids" and "Lunar Lander" were the first two video games to ever be registered in the Copyright Office. The WarGames match was a gimmick match used originally in the. The final War Games matches under the NWA banner were at The Great American Bash in 1989 and a house.

So you've invented a board game. Now what? An article by William Maclean, the creator of all kinds of fun and games. You've invented a board game, you don't know too much about the business side of board games but your board game is just plain brilliant and the rest of the world will love it. You'll be a millionaire in no time. Yup, this is it, the big one. But where do you start with your board game? It's a commonly asked question. This page might be an interesting read.. If you think you're on the wrong page, you'll find the home page here. Let's start with the basics... Every Christmas, the shelves of every toy shop and department store bulge with bright shiny boxes containing the latest and greatest board games. There are board games of virtually every conceivable sort and suitable for just about everyone - fast moving board games and slow strategic board games, board games about love and board games about war, children's board games and adult's board games. And each board game on those shelves is the end result of somebody, somewhere having a brain wave. An unexpectedly large number of people from all walks of life suddenly have an idea for a board game. Many simply leave it at that but some have the enthusiasm and optimism to want to make more of their board game. Some people have devised board games based around a hobby or interest, others dream up educational or themed board games. Many of these inventors are convinced that they have designed a world- beater that will be the successor to Monopoly (TM) or Trivial Pursuit (TM). The bitter reality that you need to realize right now is that unfortunately only a lucky few actually do. Behind every successful board game there are thousands of hours of creative and commercial endeavour. It is worth bearing this in mind if you have other time consuming activities such as a job!) A board game is a very accessible and fairly ordinary product. In much the same way as a toothbrush. Ask yourself, early on, "if I had invented a new type of toothbrush, would I be equally excited about the idea? Or would I be put off by the lack of fun? If the prospect of making a success of a toothbrush does not excite you, then you should look hard at why you think it will be different with a board game. The fact is that many of the same principles apply to any new product launch. Whilst the board games market has its own idiosyncrasies, all too many newcomers underestimate the colossal amount of (often tedious, repetitive and detailed) work that needs to be undertaken to get a board game from the initial idea to the shop shelves. BOARD GAME PREFACEWhen I designed my first board game and set out to see what I could do with it, I found helpful information pretty scarce. To me this was both astounding and frustrating. Therefore this report has been written in order to provide newcomers to the board games world with enough basic information to assess the merits of their idea and hopefully to put them on the path to profiting from it. As all board games differ, this report will not completely cover every concern for every reader - sorry! I have written the report to cover the two major markets that I operate in - the US and the UK - and if you happen to live outside these two special countries then you'll just have to fill in any blanks for yourself. However having had innumerable discussions with aspiring board games inventors during recent years, I have set out to answer the questions that most frequently arise and provide a context within which you can set yourself and your idea. AN OVERVIEW ON INVENTING A BOARD GAMEIn essence there are two fundamental decisions that have to be made by somebody with an idea for a new board game. This section aims to set them out in a simple and straightforward way. First of all the board game idea needs to be thoroughly evaluated and assessed. On the basis of these deliberations the first decision needs to be made: Is it really prudent to progress matters further? Or should the project be abandoned on the spot? This may sound a little harsh but there are literally hundreds of loss- making board games in existence. Certainly many would never have seen the light of day if they had been properly evaluated in the first place. Equally there is no doubt that a number of potentially highly successful board games have never come to the market because the idea was written off without being properly examined. The most profitable way to approach many board games is to concentrate on minimizing losses. Going by the statistics alone, it is likely that you will profit most from your idea by playing and enjoying it with your friends and family and not investing any hard cash in it. Going for financial gain involves spending time, money and effort that could, in many cases, be spent more profitably indulging in other pursuits. However, if the assessments of the board game give you reason for optimism, the second decision needs to be addressed: Do I want to try and licence my board game to an established board games manufacturer? Or would I prefer to try and launch the board game myself? It could well be the case that if you have got as far as reading this report, you will already have made these decisions. If you have not, it would be wise to read through the whole report and come back to these two decisions as the basis for proceeding further. Whatever you eventually conclude, you will need to take a good number of matters into consideration before arriving at that conclusion. The rest of the report is structured to provoke thought on the issues involved. Unfortunately, given the diversity of types of board games, there is no single recipe for a successful board game. Only you will be able to judge the relevance of each point in relation to your own circumstances. Nonetheless it would be wise to consider all the issues as objectively as possible in order to arrive at a fully reasoned conclusion. WARNING DISCLAIMERThe author makes no guarantees as to the validity of the information contained within this report. Individual board games and circumstances vary and readers should be careful not to rely on the information or points of view contained within the report. It is advisable to seek out further advice appropriate to your particular circumstances and you should not depend on a report such as this one which covers the generalities of the board games world.

The author disclaims all liability for any matters of any nature that arise as a result, (whether directly or indirectly), of this report. You are therefore very strongly advised to take all necessary steps to ensure that your particular project benefits from relevant specific advice and is not guided in any substantial way by the information contained herein. WHERE TO START WITH YOUR BOARD GAMEYou need to begin with an honest appraisal of the board game as you see it. Many inventors look at board games ideas through 'rose- tinted spectacles' and it is important to see the board game for what it actually is in an objective rather than subjective way. An example of a 'SWOT' (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis follows. It is an excellent way to consolidate your own thoughts about the merits of the board game. It is best to draw up your own chart and fill in absolutely everything you can think of for each category, no matter how incidental or superfluous it may at first appear. You would then have a single point of reference that contains all your hopes and fears. This can be invaluable when you get caught up in the intricacies of detail later in the project. You will also need to examine carefully exactly what it is that you hope to achieve from the board game. It is a good discipline to try and encapsulate your objectives in a single sentence. An example of this might be: "My aim is to analyse the virtues of my board game objectively. If I am convinced of its potential, then my aim is to successfully launch my board game into the domestic market within the next two years."This may all sound rather basic and simplistic but I have encountered a great deal of people who have got an idea for a board game but haven't the faintest notion what they are trying to do with it. This gives a poor impression which generates a lack of interest in the board game they are trying to push. It is absolutely imperative that you establish a particular direction for the project as you will need to appear confident and focused later in the process to get the most out of people you deal with.
